Tornadoes reported as severe storm tracks across North Texas

DALLAS (AP) — A severe storm system moving across northern Texas brought with it hail, high winds and multiple reports of tornadoes.

The Fort Worth office of the National Weather Service said Sunday night it had received reports of a tornado near Covington in Hill County and an earlier tornado near Cleburne State Park in Johnson County.

A tornado warning was in effect for parts of Hill and Johnson counties until 11:30 p.m. A 23-county swath of north-central Texas was under a tornado watch until 11 p.m. Tornado watches for an area that includes Dallas and Fort Worth expired.

Storm chasers broadcast images earlier Sunday of a tornado in the area of rural Comanche and Erath counties.
